Love is all around us. When you talk with the girls on anastasiadate, you can feel their sincerity. Of course there are also golddiggers, no doubt there is lots of them in online dating but I believe I haven't met any yet on this site. One of the girls even told me that she wants to pay for dinner when we have a date in person! So far so good. Promise that I'll tell you people if I have a bad experience in the future ;)
My heart hardens when my spitfire Kathy growls at me. We met a few years ago on Anastasiadate. When I first saw her, she looked OK! She seemed to be a good woman!
And now this „treasure" always wants money from me!
I am such an UNHAPPY MAN! :((
I really hate Anastasiadate. I am not impressed with the nature of Russian and Ukrainian people and of course I have never seen so many cheating and scamming women at one place.
Gents, I have been on this site for over a year now.
I also have been to Ukraine and date some the girls that I found on Anastasia. I am not saying that all are real, and aren't "robots" or even men chatting on the site, but those that I met were real and the same as presented on the site. Some I saw before on camera. Just be careful to chat with girls that don't have camera! They, yes can be somebody else!
Well, just sharing my experience. I date some there. I have exchanged e-mails with some. Two I am still in contact from time to time on e-mail (and surprisingly even on VK)! If the girls are nice and interested, they will communicate with you in anyway outside the expensive Anastasia.com, but few would do it: 98% will communicate just through Anastasia and I "wonder" why!?
One of them, that I dated on 2 full weekends, after we exchanged few e-mails on my return, just stopped communicating with me outside the site. She just do unless through Anastasia, and surprisingly, without camera!? I gave to her a tablet exactly because of that and still today she "doesn't have camera"? "poor internet connection", "Anastasia has a better translation"!? She is also on VK, so why she doesn't talk to me there, but just through the site?
This is a bloody expensive site! Unless you find a nice girl, the girls there are to take your money, have free meals, free champagne, free gifts and that's it!
What I suggest to do: find on Anastasia and then go to VK. Most of them are on VK. I haven't found all, but many. See if they correspond with you over there (or Skype, e-mail, whatever) as much they would through the site. See how they react. Are they looking for you, "love", or money? They say that they could be in trouble because they can just communicate through the site!?!? How Anastasia staff would know if you are communicating with them on VK? IF you are chatting with them on Anastasia, ask them if they would communicate with you outside the site. See how they react.
Other thing: is forbidden to exchange personal info (such as e-mails), but not "friend's" emails. One of them gave to me her friend's e-mail and we were put in contact! I was looking for accommodation in Odessa and her friend hires holiday apartments there and we were in contact, legally, outside Anastasia site!
Since I came back from Odessa, September last year, I haven't spent one single coin on this site anymore!
People could find their wives/girlfriends/partners there, which I respect, but these are "one in a million".
The bottom line is: the girls that aren't there for money and interested in you they will find a way to communicate with you (and respect you and your money)! The girls that are there because of your money they will find all excuses to make you stick you to this site!
Stay away from this site.
The best dating site, the best girls, the best services, the easiest to use. Need I say more?
I cant believe how poor the english is on these so called reviews, its very hard to understand why so many reviewers all who have English names can't speel properly, the sentences don't seem to make any sense and the grammar is all wrong, dare i suggest these might be fake reviews.
Guys stay away from here. Was led to believe by Aliona Pavalache ******* was a good girl. Until I met her. She is bipolar and an awful person. Turns out she was/is a scammer! The employees I befriended at The LeoGrand hotel in Chisinau told me she is a simple prostitute. Not saying all there are bad, but why chance it! She is.
A very nice person in the chat room, but another when you meet her... she keeps her distance so it is easier for her to pull her scam. She has other prostitute to pose as interpertors and family members to make her seem legit but she isbt?
It was almost an adventure using this site. Through all the girls I talked with, the hopes, the downs, the rejections, the dates, all the way through to my great wife. It took time and money but eventually worked for me. This service is a perfect place to meet women if you are too shy to speak to them in person, or if you are looking for the amazing experience to date an eastern european because they are really something else
я доволен сервисом который представляет AnastasiaDate это превосходный сайт для знакомств я там нашел свою жену и очень доволен эти сайтом рекомендую всем
I couldn't be more grateful to this site for everything I earned, everything I learned on it and the perfect life I have right now. I have a beautiful wife and baby boy on the way. I hope he's turns up blond and witty like his mother. I am in love with my life. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't Anastasia Date. I would pay what I paid to them again if I need to because it was the best spent money ever. You have hope too, one day you will meet Her.
You never know until you try. I can tell you how this site is bad or good but you'll never know. There are real girls and scammers, just as everywhere else, reality or online. You never can be sure what you would get before actually trying it. I signed up and year ago. There are the ups and downs during that year but overall Anastasiadate has given me an extraordinary experiences and that's an up. My life would be different, and in a bad way, if I hadn't tried.
Don't go into online dating! This is my advice. 2 years, a small fortune spent and a broken heart later I regret ever getting into long distance communication and relations. Did I find love on this site? Yes. Did she love me? Yes. But she also brought me a lot of pain and now I'm staying away from any dating sites and I advice you to do the same if you don't want your heart broken by an eastern european beauty.
I was somewhat sceptical about this site having read reviews etc, but I took the plunge and focused on one woman, and went to Kiev half expecting her not to turn up, but she did! I would say watch what you spend on the site, but my experience proves that not all the women here are scammers.
It's been 2 weeks since I signed up for this service and I'm already very pleased with what I see. I like the interface of the site and the price. The girls are pretty and honest – I wrote to many and half of them actually rejected me which doesn't happen on the sites full of money-grabbers and scammers. All in all a promising call site you got here.
After reading some of the reviews here, I have to agree that the automatic emails and chat lines are somewhat suspicious, but I looked past them when I signed up. I prefer to take matters in my own hands and contact the women I'M interested in. Sure, most of them start talking about marrying and settling down straight away, but I usually stay away from women like this - there's so much more to talk about in the beginning! I contacted about 5 women when I first started five months ago and have narrowed down my list to two ladies. So far, so good!
No way these other reiviews are real. Completely empty profile and I have 200 emails a day later? Nice try anastasiasdate but even these fake reviews can't shield your shady practices for long!
Not bad. I've been into online dating for a while and this is one of the quality sites. Probably the best for russian women. It's well designed. I personally like the video chat the most. It's the only communication I use on here. It's satisfactory service, I would recommend it to every guy.
I have accessed Anastasia Date (formerly Anastasia Web) for several years. Here is what I have learned from much experience:
1) Overall, the site is "legitimate." They are in the business to make money so they sponsor trips to their countries; the women are encouraged to chat"chat" since they and AD make good money from this. Their phone rates are very high as are their gifts and other services.
2) Most of the women are legit; some are not. Some of the most beautiful pics are fake. They are included to attract men to chat or join. These women will not write letters, and they keep repeating the same trite "messages" over and over again in their chat invitations.
3) There are many very nice and legit women on the site. It will take much time and money to discover which ones they are... but it is doable. And there are some incredibly lovely and nice women on this site. There are some prostitutes on the site, but you can tell who they are from their lurid chat invites (come-ons).
4) The staff seems courteous and quite efficient. They just need to do more verification of their female members.
5) What with the current (August 2014) hostility between Russia and Ukraine, this no doubt will and should have a great effect on AD's operations and how you interact with their women.
Hello all,
I write this and I expect you will do what you want as you're probably in throes of lust for some hot model. I can not say for certain that all of women on here are illegitimate, but I have used this site off and on since 2005 and I have never found what I'm looking for. In this day and age there are plenty of free dating sites that have real profiles of foreign women. Those women will beg to Skype you, which, for the those of you who might be a bit slow, is free video chat!
The reason I post this today is there was a woman who sent me four letters before I ever responded. I guess this site will let the women know if we, the men, have read their letters. A fool and his money easily part ways. So impressed was I by her apparent tenacity I wrote her back and it was then I received a generic response with nothing from my previous letter in it.
I still have a few credits which I can write a letter in your place to whatever girl you believe is your future wife. Just make a good case and add an email account that will probably be quickly spammed, but I'll reply back if I haven't given those credits away yet. We can go from there.
Man, this site has been invaded by Anastasia's employees, look at all these five star rating, they threw off the balance of votes.
Once again, guys, keep your credit cards as far away from your computer as you can when you are girlwatching on Anastasia.
That's all it's good for - free girlwatching.
Let them work for you, not vice versa.
Answer: Sean, I'm very sad to hear that you have been yet another scam victim of AnastasiaDate. They definitely have interesting people on there... but this is what you need to know: 1. You are NOT talking to the girl in the picture. You are talking to a translator (probably a guy) who is talking on behalf of the girl. 2. The translators are being paid to keep you online - on their site - and give you as little information as possible to allow you to get off the site. After a month, if you are still using the site, you are the victim. Read the reviews that are all 1-star of this service, and remember that the 5-star reviews here are almost all paid reviewers for AnastasiaDate.
Answer: The odds are stacked against you on Anastasiadate because it works on a scam-based "business" model. It's a chat-oriented site, it pays comission to local affiliates, so it attracts many scammers, both women and men who want to suck in your hard earned money. The woman (or whoever it is you are chatting with) is paid by the local affiliates. If you really pursue a serious relationship, you should join a meeting-oriented site, i. E. http://j4love.net They also have chat and video chat but they operate on a different model and therefore their girls are more serious about the meeting. When I was in Ukraine I signed up there and met two women. It didn't take me long to find the women who were willing to meet which was a big surprise for me as I got used to all kinds of excuses of Anastasiadate's girls as to why they were not able to meet me next month. Now I understand the real reason.
Answer: As far as I am aware this is a site with women's profiles aimed at attracting men only. From experience I can tell you that most of the profiles either are not who they are posing to be [e.g. Are using model's photos etc] or have not the slightest intention of a hook up. That is to say they will keep you endlessly writing revenue earning messages but if you try to arrange a meeting they will disappear. This is also the case with the sister site Amolatina and LatamDate. Be warned and be prepared to totally waste your money.
Answer: Knil, Good that you are thinking of marriage. Speaking from my own experience with Anastasia Scam, the ladies I met lived in a fantasy world. As long as you shower them with the good stuff, they will play along. But when the music stops, these same ladies will abandon ship. Marriage is a covenant between a man and a woman for better and for worse. The Anastasia Scam ladies forgot the covenant part and the for worse part. So, if I were you, I will NOT even consider Anastasia Date scam. You want a real relationship built on honesty and love. Anastasia Date scam is NOT based on honesty and principle. I say these things to you because I went over there and spent time with the ladies and I observe. You observe and you need to read and interpret body language. A scammer can hide their true intentions but their subconscious actions reveal the true picture! Anways, I wish you all success with your future and your love life. Life is too short to spend it on the wrong person and for the wrong reasons. Regards,
Answer: The girls don't write to men, agencies do, pretending to be the girls, with the girls having nothing to do with the letters at all.
Answer: Spot on, ADate is a con. I wrote to girls over a period of months sorry to say, and sadly the alarm bells never rang when certain girls would be there 24/7 - couldn't answer questions about their professions or explain why they weren't at work, had short term memory loss (couldn't remember anything about me) and whoever I was speaking too had never seen a letter. It is simply organised crime.
Answer: Hello but I am going to repeat the response what Stephen said earlier but I am going to be fair with the statistics: I would say 99.9% of the women on anastasiadate either get paid by an agency to chat with men or they are scammers out to make money and not looking for a real relationship. Any positive reviews for this site are almost certainly generated by the lowlife people who are behind this dodgy dating site. I dated a lady from this scam site for TWO years. Her name is Daria (Member ID: 1701750). She lied and told me that she was registered only with Anastasia Scam but later I found out that she was registered with other agencies. She told me that I was the one for her but I also found out that was her story to the other men she was scamming also from the other agencies. If we all stand united and refrain from using this scam site, Anastasia Scam will be out of business and you all will be a lot richer and happier...
Answer: I don't have the statistics, but I am out of there! I saw real and sincere woman through the cameras, and also met some of them there. They are real (don't think all of them obviously). But I am out. It is very difficult to establish communication with them specially when most of them don't even try to learn English!
Answer: If you still do not believe Julian that this site is a scam this is her profile on VK: http://vk.com/id68827266 Register on this site, send her a massage and you will see whether she would like to keep in touch with you. I bet she wouldn’t.
Answer: Brian, I've seen your ads on here - looked at these reviews occasionally for about 3 years now because I was dating someone (off and on) I met on Anastasia. They must have hired real Americans to write their planted reviews since the last time I was here because many of them actually look like they weren't written by someone who grew up speaking Russian! Anyway, I can't seem to find the job title of these, er... ladies? I wanted to search on google.ru and thought it was "work bride" but that's not it. Could you help me? So what's my opinion of the Anastasia site and the ladies on there? $650 spent. Never met a lady who didn't keep coming back to me no matter what I told them (yes, I tested) of the 2 dozen or so I chatted with - even when confronted with evidence of their fraud. Sent gifts, made phone calls but only 1 actually gave me her VK contact info - all others refused. I contacted her and we talked often in the following 90 days or so until I told her the house I was buying (and she helped me choose) may cost more than expected and delay my visit to meet her - then she either deleted her VK account or blocked me because I couldn't find her on there. She never asked me for anything to this time except to visit her so she could be my bride. About 6 months later she friended me on facebook using a different name and sent me about 5 texts in the next 2 months slowly telling me she was in hospital for weeks and when I showed concern she wouldn't say why she was there, her final message being "Oh it nothing. I better now" then nothing for 18 months. She contacted me again in August and a month later I bought a ticket for Ukraine and booked a room but when I denied her 2 request for money - first for medicine because somehow the coughing she was doing on a Viber phone call turned into a trip to the hospital and the doctor diagnosed it as her spine and she needed money for medicine. Huh!?! Phone calls tapered of but still came. Ditto with texts. 2 weeks later she needed money because she was evicted and needs a place to stay. Told her my money was needed for the visit and I wouldn't send. Now she won't call or answer mine. Texts very sporadic. So I friended her friend's friend's friends on facebook and started finding real Russian and Ukrainians with no touched-up professional photos and not a fraud warning flag has sprung up chatting to them. And the girl I was dating. Well, she spent hours and hours for 2.5 years but never got a penny she asked for - all she got by my best estimates was a birthday gift and whatever she got from the few texts. Letters and calls we made on Anastasia that made a total of around $65 or so it was worth it because I liked to make her squirm when she lied to me. The site's a fraud. Stay away from it. I reported them to BBB and every time they replied I went back to their site to complain because they would remind me of another issue. They wouldn't answer so I'd report them to the BBB for failing to address that issue then their reply brought up more and I'd file another BBB complaint. Was marked as resolved only because I finally gave up - they didn't address the issues brought up in the BBB complaints but instead attacked me and my character. They even said they saw that I was having problems with one of the ladies (damn straight I was - she asked me to send a Valentine gift and they aren't allowed to do that and I found photos on her VK account of her spending Valentine's day with her real, Ukrainian boyfriend) and when I asked why they're reading private correspondences I was told to report the girl for fraud and the following morning I found out my account was closed and they refused to refund my unused credits.
